Life sketches and faith work . d new life wasfelt all through my body. As I looked down at my watch, on theground, it was high twelve. I brought my right foot down, andseemed to be standing on a rock. I said, Thank God ! I standonce more erect as a man. The next thought that came was, Iam clean, and the second, I am healed! I felt of partsof my body, that had been diseased and sore. All pain andsoreness was gone. I walked two or three rods, back and forth,and then leaped for joy, and praised the Lord. The path, subse-quently, became a well beaten one, as I frequently resorted thither,and walked and talked with Jesus. I there built an altar of stone,to mark the spot, where Jesus had so graciously healed and cleansedme. Ever since that time, I have claimed the regeneration of mybody. The Lord removed from me all malice, all lust, and hasthus far kept me by His power. The Lord led me to mark fourtrees, as witnesses of the covenant then made between us. Thehieroglyphics on those trees record the number of visits I have. Plate No. 2. Looking to the East. ELDER W. G. RAYMOND. 85 made there. The third visit I made, the Lord asked me whatname I gave the place. I had thought about a name. I said,Lord, Mt. Tabor? No. Mt. Carmel? No. No. Mt. Pisgah? No. I paused to seewhat the Lord would say. He said, This is Beulah Land. Ianswered, Yes, Lord, this is Border Land, and I have alwaysfelt, that the Lord handed that name right down to me. After Iwent to my room, I opened to Isa. 62d. In the 4th verse is theword Beulah Land. The following hymn, bearing this title, has ever since been tame the most precious : BEULAH LAND. Ive reached the land of corn and wine,And all its riches freely mine;Here shines undimmed one blissful day,For all my night has passed away. CHORUS. 0 Beulah land, sweet Beulah land,As on the highest mount I stand, 1 look away across the sea, Where mansions are prepared for me,And view the shining glory shore,My heaven, my home for evermore. The Saviour
